Vegan Tasting Menu at Alyn Williams at The Westbury

Alyn works alongside Head Chef Tom Booton to create dishes that showcase the finest ingredients, with British fruit and vegetables often taking centre stage. This signature style is showcased by the restaurant’s brilliant vegan tasting menu – a creative, elegant and delicious sequence of seven meat and dairy-free dishes.
